![Steve Aoki – Ultra Music Festival 2013 Live Set (Video) : Watch Video and Listen [Free Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4861962_lg.jpg)
Anyone unaware of what a Steve Aoki live concert is like, have no fear and look above. He is not your typical DJ, he will stand behind the tables mixing about half the time, and spend the other half riding the crowd with a raft, slamming them with cakes, and untradtional DJ moves. He somehow has managed to make all of these things be what defines him and his live show. You can see it in all his glory on one of the biggest stages he has ever played, main stage at the 2013 Ultra Music Festival [...]

Gig tonight at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, NC. Show starts at 8.
Porcelain Raft , el último proyecto del italiano Mauro Remiddi, vio su álbum debut hecho una realidad en enero de este mismo año, una prueba de que su anterior EP no iba a ser una excepción, aunque hayan hecho falta 2 años para escuchar nuevo material. Afortunadamente ahora parece llegar todo de golpe, y es que Porcelain Raft acaba de lanzar su nuevo vídeo, una buena forma de descubrir un proyecto muy interesante. El tema elegido ha sido “Strange Weekend”, y en la pieza, de poco más de [...]

GFP were lucky enough to catch Brooklyn-based Porcelain Raft live earlier in the year, when he supported M83 just prior to the release of his debut album Strange Weekend . We were therefore pleased when we heard that he will return to UK shores next month for a number of live dates (see below), as well as unveiling this brand new video for new single Drifting In And Out . The new single is set for release on 73 and mp3 on June 11th in the UK through Secretly Canadian , and the [...]

Questo mercoledì alla Mela di Newton, in centro a Padova, si esibirà Porcelain Raft , al secolo Mauro Remiddi , l'italiano del momento con tanto di contratto per la Secretly Canadian. Di origini romane, ha girovagato il mondo per anni trovando poi base a Londra dove la sua poliedrica attività musicale è culminata col progetto solista Porcelain Raft . Già l'anno scorso aveva dimostrato cos'era capace di fare col suo primo EP, "Fountain's Head"; l'album d'esordio "Strange Weekend", uscito da pochissimo, è la conferma delle capacità artistiche di Mauro Remiddi: dream pop dolcissimo, [...]
Субботний вечер спасает Юрий Ясюк, записавший для Big Echo гостевой микс с духоподъёмной танцевальной музыкой. Всё, как мы любим: Keep Shelly in Athens, John Talabot, Julio Bashmore и замечательная Madi Diaz с «Trust Fall» в ремиксе от Jensen Sportag. Что касается Юры — приятно в очередной раз убедиться, что человек, имеющий непосредственно е отношение к Harm’s и блогу Raft держится отличного музыкального вкуса. Для новосибирцев есть особенный сюрприз: при участии Harm’s в Lebowski проходят вечеринки для настоящих дискочиллвейвер ов. « Круиз » проходит уже сегодня, через несколько часов, но если вы не попадаете на этот теплоход, [...]

Anthony Gonzalez and co. rolled into Bristol for the first night of their European tour hot on the heels of their most successful album to-date and with Pitchfork's 'Track Of 20112 accolade lodged firmly under their belts. M83 's rise from electro post-rock-ish underdogs to universally acclaimed, top-of-the-chart bothering indie darlings has been one of the most deserved and satisying journeys of recent years and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who would deny them their time in spotlight . There certainly aren't any in attendance here tonight. Before M83 entertain us we're [...]

We wrote off Porcelain Raft as one of the seemingly countless synth/disco DJs with a left of center band name that is jamming the bloggosphere every day. Yet, with European dates supporting M83, and a deal with a trustworthy A&R gate keeper in Secretly Canadian, our skepticism began to wane. One listen to the below track "Put Me To Sleep" off of debut album Strange Weekend (1/24), assuaged our fears and brought us into the midst of some hazy, cloudy, European city somewhere, and we were hooked. [...]
Another seasonal treat from the Create Spark desk, here’s our new musical hopes for 2012 in no particular order: Outfit This London-via-Liverpool five piece have assailed our senses with their articulate indie music, all warm electronics and angular guitars wrapped within a seemingly boundless source of impressive pop melodies. Following on from recent appearances at Liverpool Music Week, Constellations and a support slot with Washed Out, Outfit are set to unveil a video for their much-feted debut single ‘Two [...]

Smith Westerns at MHOW in October ( more by Toby Tenenbaum ) After releasing their sophomore LP Dye It Blonde at the beginning of this year, Smith Westerns have gone on a number of tours in support of it, most recently opening for Arctic Monkeys which culminated in a MHOW show at the end of last month. They'll continue in 2012 with a headlining tour that will bring the band back to NYC on January 31 on Webster [...]

And now, some music. Enjoy. : White Denim - No Real Reason [...]

Porcelain Raft's music has always had a sketch like quality to it, almost as if Remiddi was worried producing the songs into a more complete form would diminish the emotional impact. If this is his actual reason behind his generally raw approach, he seems to have changed his mind on "Put me to Sleep." The overall production levels seems higher than anything we've heard before, with slicker synth tones, less background noise and a dance-y, pulsing drum machine pushed farther up in the mix than usual. Fortunately, echoes of reverb laden vocals and guitar lines tear through the the track, [...]

Porcelain Raft is the Italian-born, London-based Mauro Rimmidi, whose new single "Put Me To Sleep" is a piece of energizing dreampop that captures the romance in the idea that this will soon all be over; that we are all moving beings along the conveyor belt of Earth and every moment is fleeting, so it's best we take advantage of them. The sweet come-on, "Would you put me to sleep?" strings together timid verses that build and eventually break through. He goes on tour with M83 in the new year, and his debut LP Strange Weekend is out January [...]

Porcelain Raft is finally set to release his debut album, Strange Weekend , on January 24th. We have our first taste of it, with the very user-friendly song, “Put Me To Sleep”. Dreamy as can be, the track is simply gorgeous. Even though Mauro has gotten a ton of blog love already, I would say he is a leading candidate to break out next year. Put Me To Sleep by Porcelain Raft
On January 24th, 2012, Porcelain Raft will serve us his debut album, Strange Weekend via Secretly Canadian . London-ite, Mauro Remiddi first caught my attention with "Tip Of My Tongue", a tune from earlier this year. The success of that track proved he can create the perfect integration of chillwave and shoegaze. On the subject of shoegaze, Porcelain Raft will be touring with M83 for the first three months of 2012. Check out the tour dates below. "Put Me To Sleep" is a brand new release from Strange Weekend and it [...]

Mauro Remiddi aka Porcelain Raft has released a whole bunch of tunes over the past couple of years, now he has announced the release of a proper debut LP. Strange Weekend will hit in January via Secretly Canadian, and today he has released a new track from the album. This is Put Me To Sleep . Put Me To Sleep by Porcelain Raft

Good things come to those who wait. So the saying goes. And, after what feels like an eternity since Porcelain Raft emerged onto our radar with the irrestistible 'Tip Of Your Tongue' back in June of last year , Mauro Remiddi emerges with the first offering from his debut album Strange Weekend (due out via Secretly Canadian on January 23). A delicate, strung out gem - 'Put Me To Sleep' is proof positive why Mauro was originally included in our 2011 'One's To Watch' list back at the [...]
